    Summary

    This guide is aimed at beginners with the intention of trying to break down the process so it is less overwhelming. It is, as all guides are, highly biased to what worked for me when I was starting out. If you find it doesn't work for you, I absolutely recommend trying out one of the many different guides out there!

    My number one recommendation is: just go for it! Things are less complicated than you think. There are a hundred of extra bells and whistles you can start adding on once you're ready, but try and keep it dead simple for your first one.

    Summary

    Draxum has crafted the four perfect warriors. A red eared slider, a softshell turtle, an alligator snapping turtle, and a box turtle. They're glorious. They're grand, they're- not supposed to look like that. Perhaps giving them fruit so soon before was a bad idea.

    Accidentally mutated with a bowl full of different fruits they were snacking on, the turtles find themselves not only part turtle but part fruit.

    Raph, the dragonfruit. Leo, the blue raspberry. Donnie, the blackberry. And Mikey, the mandarin orange.

    The mutation has caused some- errors- in their supposed warrior abilities. Or, from the physical sight? It seemed like it. But Draxum would never get to find out as the story continues, Splinter escapes with the freshly mutated turtles, and his lab is blown up.

    And somewhere, deep down in the sewers, a group of Tiny Lil Fruit Turtles are raised by a mutant rat. Let the fun begin

    Summary

    Jon has recently been promoted to Head Archivist. Jon is quickly Becoming something else. He doesn't know what to do about it.

    The most pressing thing about all of this, the thing that burns through him every night as he lies awake turning it over in his mind, is why. Why is this happening, why is he feeling like this, why is he having strange new dreams that he can’t even remember, why why why? The questions claw at him like a physical need, until he’s choking on it. He wants to know, needs to know, and it’s like there’s a pressure building in his brain every time he asks the same question of himself and doesn’t get an answer. He wants to know, he’s practically sick with it.

    Summary

    Jon opens the door.

    Jon closes his eyes.

    And he weeps.

    (Martin ends just as the world does, his body crumbling under the violent, crying Eye splitting the sky open. The knife in his hand has fallen to the ground, red blood mixing with black ink. The web carved on the blade isn’t visible anymore.

    He has no hands, no arms, no mouth, no heart, but he knows he holds Jon against him until the end, whispering Love in his ear as they cry.)

    (Sasha looks up from the Institute's lobby, Tim gasping as their eyes lock onto the first floor's balcony just outside Elias Bouchard's office. And Jon looks back at them.

    His nose is bleeding and his eyes are feral when he walks down with a calm smile. Sasha doesn’t outright notice the scars littering his skin, scars that were absent only an hour ago, as she gapes back at Tim who seems one second away from fainting.)

    Summary

    Jon's reflection is just as he remembers. A memory of getting ready this morning, another of spotting his reflection in a car window on the walk home. The details are recent, but they feel distant. Unblemished skin. Long, mostly-black hair. Tired eyes. What else would he look like?

    He leans in, looking at himself in the mirror. Unblemished? No, he can see them. The ghosts of little circular scars. Worms, he thinks, though he doesn’t know where the memory comes from, From Prentiss. Prentiss? As in Jane Prentiss? When did he encounter Prentiss? Is he being haunted by the ghost of himself, eaten to death by worms? 

    But no, that’s not right.

    Summary

    "Oh, shut up," the doppelganger said, crying and laughing. He looked like Martin, but that couldn't be right because Martin was watching this all unfold. "Now, I'm sorry to just pop in, but I have no clue how long I was in the halls - yes, I know you know - so I'm probably about to pass out. Sorry."

    True to his word, he slumped down against the wall. Somewhere, a tape recorder clicked off.

    "Alright," Tim said when the silence got uncomfortable, "We're not going to try and pretend that wasn't supernatural, right?"

    (or, a time travel au, but this time with monster!Jon)

    Summary

    According to Sasha, Tim, and Martin, the Archives of the Magnus Institute are haunted. This latest theory might have something to do with the statements that move themselves, the marks and notes now found in margins that weren't there before, or that note on Tim's desk. Or it could be due to the fact that they've seen a mysterious white-haired figure that keeps vanishing without a trace.

    But when Jon spots something strange, his investigations lead him to a result that none of them could have imagined. Even with their new roommate refusing to explain anything beyond their strange, cryptic warnings about something big coming.

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims has lost everything.

    His love, his friends, his humanity. Everything worth losing, they lost, ever since they ended the world and everything went to shit. Even though Jonah was dead, and the world was mostly restored to normal, that meant nothing to Jon. Because Martin hadn't survived to see it.

    So when the Distortion offered Jon a deal he couldn't refuse, Jon took it.

    He had nothing left to lose, after all.

    Summary

    The blood rushes through his ears and drowns out all other noise as he goes still. Intentionally, he reaches deep within himself, down to the very essence of what makes him the person he is, and twists it, knows it. It hurts; of course it does. But in the end, he opens his eyes again and he knows that he has to go on.

    In this moment, the Archivist forces himself to become Jonathan Sims once more.

    Summary

    There was a pause, then Jon's office door was wrenched open. 

    Tim was on his feet in a second, reaching for his friend. 

    "Jon, what happened?"

    Jon staggered towards him. Blood was running down his face, dripping off his chin, his eyes wild and unfocused. His shirt was slowly soaking through with blood, more of it seeping down from a cut on his neck, and as he reached for Tim, he saw a large, blistering burn across his right hand. 

    "Tim-" His voice was ragged and pained. "You're alive."

    Summary

    Martin gets a closer look at the calendar, and his breath catches in his throat. He's gotten a look at the year, and it's wrong, it's all wrong. 2018. October, 2018. Right there, in Martin's own handwriting, on a Saturday, he's written things on little dates that Martin can't read, because he can't take his eyes off the year. 2018. 2018. They look differently. They have scars they don't recognize. Their hair is longer. 2018.

    Martin seizes the calendar off the fridge and goes back into the living room. Jon's still at the coffee table, poking through the tapes piled there, but he looks up when Martin comes back in and says, "Martin, where…" with a familiar bite in his voice.

    Martin ignores him, stops him mid-sentence to say, "Jon, what have you heard about time travel?"

    ---

    Martin and Jon wake up two years in the future. It goes about as well as can be expected.

    Summary

    Sometimes, the most horrifying thing of all is what might have been.

    Somewhere, Jon could swear he heard a crowd laughing.

    Or: in which Jonathan Sims is forced to swap places with his alternate self – a tall, chivalrous hero extraordinaire, who knows neither fear nor nuance – and is sent to the aggressively straight alternate universe the Magnus Archives was never meant to be.

    “Whatever place this is,” Jon announced, “I just want to be sure it knows I hate it.”

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims faces the opportunity to go back to undo the work of The Eye and reshape the earth in accordance to the wishes of the Archive, but he doesn't go back alone.
    Jonah Magnus, Arbiter of the Eye and orchestrator of said apocalypse is not about to let his hard work be so blithely undone.

    When the world winds itself back to January 20th, 2015, Sasha James has been promoted to Head Archivist after the bloke who was supposed to be Head Archivist picked his team of assistants and ditched before day 1. Now in charge of the disorganised Archives, Sasha struggles to piece together the loose threads connecting the statements into something that makes sense.

    There's a new supercomputer in Artefact Storage that supposedly has all the answers. Having access to the Archivist Simulator could make her job a lot easier. Or make it a lot more complicated.
